Banitsa: Making Baba's Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of Greek yogurt with 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda.

Add approximately 2 cups of crumbled feta cheese to the yogurt mixture and mix until creamy.

In a separate jar, whisk together 5 eggs.

Add the whisked eggs to the yogurt and cheese mixture.

Butter the pan to prevent sticking.

Layer the frozen filo dough in the pan as the first layer.

Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the filo layer.

Add a layer of cold butter cut into small pieces on top of the egg mixture.

Repeat the layering process: filo, egg mixture, and butter until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of filo on top.

Add a layer of butter on top of the final filo layer.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F.
